for a story writer/game developer, it takes skill to be able to tug on one's heart strings. most games these days (cod, halo, etc..) lack that special portion to a good game (story and music). here is a breif list of some games that made me emotional/cry:

-PMD red/blue
-PMD Time
-Mother 3 (who hasn't)
-klonoa 1 & 2 (played these games like 100 times since i was 5 and still cant stop bawling)
